Well, we’ve made a few changes since then and now the ozone layer is bouncing back. The hole was legit. You can’t just deny everything.

When it smells like fear mongering, it is. If you listen to these people, we should have been wiped out years ago by rising waters. Didn’t happen. You know why? Because man is a lot more insignificant than he gives himself credit for, and this earth is a lot more resilient than we give God credit for.

I mean, Soylent Green was advertised as being made from plankton. Plankton was growing scarce, so they had to start using people. Perhaps we can replace the plankton in the ocean with dead bodies to give the fishies something to snack on.

RI beach closings due to bacteria. Looks like bacteria are doing fine. Just quick search. Need to know where and how the plankton samples are being collected?

Plankton populations bloom and dwindle with water temps
If this was true there would be dead filter feeders littering the beaches

What if we just had 90% too much plankton

All these “scientists” are suffering brain damage from the beatings at the hands of the cool kids.

Well, one jackass downvoted with no rebuttal. DDT didn't even wipe out 80% of all insects and it was one of the most effective insect killers the world has ever known, but this hack scientist says that we have already wiped out 80% of the insects in the world and 100% will be gone within twenty years? frick right the hell off out of here with that bullshite.
The reason your efforts are dismissed wholesale by a large swath of people isn't because they have no merit, it is because you trot out loons like this hysterical jackass to convey your concerns.
-90% of plankton gone
-90%-100% coral reefs gone
-80% of insects gone with 100% gone within the next two decades
By all means, keep taking this approach. I guess you have the fact that most of your target audience are morons going for you.

The image below measures chlorophyll concentrations in sea water from satellite images for the period of June 1, 2022 to today. The red areas are the highest chlorophyll concentrations followed by orange, yellow, green and then blue representing the lowest. They are representative of phytoplankton density in the water column.

So, let me get this straight, 90% of a food source has already disappeared. Yet, we aren't already seeing catastrophic species die off of those animals that feed on plankton? It will take quite a few more years before that starts happening?
It's fear porn.

Beware of bad science reporting: No, we haven’t killed 90% of all plankton
A very misleading article on marine life has been getting a lot of attention.

The Continuous Plankton Survey has indeed cataloged a loss of plankton over the years—but nothing close to the 90 percent loss claimed by Dryden. "We have noticed long-term changes—northerly movements of plankton species as surface water warms, changes in seasonality in some taxa, invasives, etc.," Johns told Ars by email. "And we work with a wide group of scientists and governmental bodies, providing evidence for marine policy. As a group, we had an email discussion, and no one agreed with this report—and no one had heard of the guy (other than one person, and she was not complimentary at all)." In addition to the small sample size, the preprint makes no mention of how or when the plankton samples were collected. "If those samples were taken during the day, in surface waters, there is likely lower numbers of zooplankton," Johns explained. "Also, [there is] no mention of what magnification [the researchers] were using. If you were using a low-power microscope, you would struggle to see the small stuff—in warm open ocean Atlantic waters, much of the zooplankton is pretty small, and they might have trouble picking them out."

Love how they cover all the bases here. Everything that occurs weather-wise can always be tossed into one of these categories.

Well, clearly they aren't taking the problem seriously. Listen to the ramblings of the jackleg who says 90% of plankton, nearly 100% of coral reefs, and 80% of insects have been wiped out. Oh....and don't forget that there are no native fish species left in the Caribbean and that there is no longer a commercial fishing industry there, either.
